There is really a lot of good news this week. Goodwill came from the other side on Monday. On Tuesday, Li Chunmei gave birth to a daughter named Wang Yuqian.
In addition, good news came from Zhou Pengfei. After closing his positions in the past month, he made a profit of nearly 600 million US dollars in New York oil futures trading.
It is not just a war between the two major oil-producing countries that will cause oil prices to skyrocket. The current increase in oil prices has been weak. According to analysis by Zhou Pengfei and staff from the investment department of Lanfeng Holdings, Japan, the United States and even Western Europe will definitely not allow oil prices to continue to rise, for fear of that.
It won't take long for the price to drop, which is why Zhou Pengfei chose to close his position.
Facts have proved that the judgment of Zhou Pengfei and others was very correct. In August, there were already many voices targeting the soaring oil prices.
Li Jianhui did not transfer the profits and principal, but asked Zhou Pengfei to inject capital into the Jaguar Group, allowing Jaguar to take the opportunity to acquire some British automotive industries, especially bus manufacturing companies and truck manufacturing companies, to enrich the Jaguar Motor Group's brand and structure.
Regarding Zhou Pengfei's report on the large-scale privatization of Ying Lun, Li Jianhui asked Zhou Pengfei to make his own decision if Blue Feng Holdings had the ability.
As for Xinjian’s other capital, there are currently no plans to enter the UK on a large scale.
Hong Kong is also very lively. Due to the promotion of the Bryan government and the intention of Li Jianhui and others to withdraw from the public eye, Li Pengfei and other members of the Hong Kong business youth delegation suddenly became influential figures in Hong Kong.
Huang Guangxing and others who were far away in Southeast Asia also reached many cooperation agreements with the governments and business circles of the Philippines and Indonesia, and arrived at Xingzhou, the last stop of this Southeast Asian trip, on the 16th.
In the evening of that day, Li Zaiwei specially met Huang Guangxing and others at the Xinhui Hotel and communicated about the situation in Xingzhou.
"Lao Huang, Sin Chau is no different than other ASEAN regions. Because the population here is relatively small, there is only one city in a country, so the market is also relatively small. In addition, the government here occupies a dominant position in many industries, especially in the public sector.
In terms of services and housing, these industries are not suitable for our development.
The business community in Xingzhou is also relatively strong, especially the four major families of Qiu, Huang, Guo, and Li. They are also the core of the Nanyang Consortium. Their relationship with us has not been very friendly in recent years.
In addition, you also know that our Heung Kong and Sin Chew compete in some aspects, especially in the economic center of Southeast Asia. In recent years, not only our Heung Kong has been attracting Southeast Asian companies to list on several major exchanges in Hong Kong, but Sin Chew Exchange has also been attracting
.
So don’t expect the Sin Chew government to give us any special care, just don’t suppress us.”
After listening to Li Zaiwei's introduction, Huang Guangxing and others were not worried about this. They had already been prepared for this situation.
Sin Chew and Heung Kong overlap in many aspects. Not only do they compete in the stock exchange, they also hope to become an aviation hub in Southeast Asia connecting the world. They also compete in tourism consumption.
Both sides also have their own advantages due to their location. Sin Chew has the golden channel of the Strait of Malacca, which cannot be compared to Xiangjiang in terms of material distribution in Southeast Asia.
Moreover, as a member of ASEAN, Sin Chew also has natural political advantages in Southeast Asia, and some cooperation is more convenient than Xiangjiang.
However, Xiangjiang also has its own advantages. One is financial openness. In this regard, few regions in the world can compare with Xiangjiang in attracting capital from Southeast Asia.
At the same time, as a springboard for external capital to enter the mainland, Xiangjiang is more favorable to capital interested in entering the mainland market. Because of some of the special characteristics of Xiangjiang, European and American multinational companies are more willing to put their Asian headquarters in Xiangjiang.
"Zaiwei and Li Sheng are also aware of the complexity of the situation here in Sin Chew. Here we are more focused on business, and when entering industry, we avoid public services and residential real estate.
Except for Wheelock Plaza, which is already under construction, we will not add any new real estate projects this time.
To be honest, our visit to Sin Chew this time was more of a formality. After all, the other four ASEAN countries and the observer country Brunei have already gone there, so it would be a bit uncomfortable not to come to Sin Chew.
According to Li Sheng's instructions, we will establish a Xiangjiang petrochemical production base in Xingzhou to mainly produce ship oil and mainly serve ships in Greater China."
Li Zaiwei also supports this. He knows very well that with the Malacca Strait at his back, as long as Xiangjiang Petrochemical produces qualified marine oil, he will have no worries about selling it.
We must know that four of the world's twenty largest private shipping companies are in Hong Kong. Although Global Shipping, owned by the chartering king, has dropped out of the first place, OOCL, owned by Dong Haoyun, has risen to the top.
If Li Jianhui hadn't eliminated his Huangpu shipping vessels quickly, Xiangjiang Shipping would have accounted for 1/4 of the world's top 20 private shipping companies.
"Currently, Sin Chew Jurong Industrial Park is transforming from traditional intensive industries to technological high value-added industries, and it will also be mainly centered on petrochemicals, automobile auto parts, steel and other industries. This time, Xiangjiang Petrochemical Production will be established here.
The base is quite suitable, and we can also enjoy some preferential policies.”
Xiangjiang and Sin Chew are very similar. They are smaller places, the economy is also developing rapidly, and production costs are also rising rapidly. The low value-added labor-intensive industries in Xiangjiang are moving outwards, and the same is happening in Sin Chew.
Different from Xiangjiang, because Sin Chau is a country, the government’s focus is also different.
Xiangjiang mainly focuses on finance, trade, film and television entertainment, consumer services and other industries, while Sin Chew pays more attention to manufacturing and improves its own industrial system.
"If nothing unexpected happens, our Xiangjiang petrochemical base will be placed in the Jurong Industrial Park. I hope Zaiwei will pay more attention to it in the future.
This is a golden thoroughfare, and when we come in, we will definitely grab other people's cakes. We don't have to worry about normal competition, but we are afraid that some forces will make strange moves, especially the Sinzhou government enterprises."
"Lao Huang can rest assured that as long as we operate properly, the Sin Chew government will have no reason to trouble us.
Unlike the United States and Japan, as a small country, the government does not dare to suppress foreign companies without reason. Now I am mainly worried about technical issues. At present, our Xiangjiang Energy Group, including our entire Xinjian Department, does not have relevant experience and technical talents.
, without quality in this Xingzhou, it is difficult to win the trust of other customers except us at Huangpu Shipping."
Liu Xiaojuan said: "You don't have to worry about this. We at Xiangjiang Energy will cooperate with Formosa Plastics. Their experience in this area is enough to meet our needs, and the addition of Formosa Plastics will be more conducive to us attracting customers in Baodao."
Seeing that Xiangjiang was prepared, Li Zaiwei said no more. Although he was the person in charge of the Southeast Asia region of the Xinjian Department, the development of each group was mainly based on itself. At most, he could only coordinate, and his own focus was still on
